What tyres for 17" wheels??
« on: 27 October 2009, 18:41 »
Hi Guys and Gals,

I've tried searching and can't see what i'm looking for. So i have some new 17 wheels on the way for my mk4 and i'm not sure what tyres to go for, Some people are running 205/40/17 and some 225/25/17, so looking for feedback.

Thanks

Dan

205/40 17 is defo the wrong size...

you can either run 215/45 or 225/45, the rolling radius is nearly identical  :smiley:
